Notes

Barton Smoot, son of Barton and Sarah Smoot, was born 1711 in
Charles County. He married first Jane, daughter of Thomas and
Sarah (Briscoe) Truman.

Sarah, as the widow of both Thomas Truman and William Stevens
Howard, named her grandson Henry Smoot in her will of 1735, but
she failed to mention her daughter Jane Smoot which would tend
to indicate the latter's decease before that year. George Dent
and Anne Smoot, however, were witnesses."

Notes

"George also appeared in the newly formed Trimble County records
as being part of the boundary line that James Brown was to be
the surveyor for that part of the Mill Creek Road from Peter
Hartmanís to the county line. This suggests George lived near
the town of Tom-Tom, Kentucky."

3. 1810 April 9: George Edward Wood [1810-1883] There is
uncertainty about where he was born. It could have been
Cresthill, Fauquier County or Culpeper County, Virginia or
Gallatin County, Kentucky, depending on the source of
information.

George Edward Wood went west to Missouri and did correspond with
his cousin Monterville S. Clark, son of his sister, Margaret
"Peggy" Wood Clark.
